P. v. Flowers
Lisa Maria Flowers appeals the judgment entered following her plea of no contest to one count of grand theft. (Pen. Code, § 487, subd. (a).)[1] Flowers contends the order directing her to pay victim restitution to family members of the named victim must be stricken as unauthorized by her plea bargain or sections 1192.3 and 1202.4. However, Flowers agreed to pay actual restitution to any victim, if appropriate, and the family members of the named victim themselves qualify as victims for the purpose of restitution. (§ 1202.4, subd. (k)(3)(A) & (k)(3)(B).) We therefore find no violation of Flowers’s plea bargain or the cited statutes and affirm the judgment.
